Something I’ve not done

我没有干过的事情

is following me

跟随着我

I haven’t done it again and again

我一次又一次没有干它

so it has many footsteps

因此它有很多脚步

Like a drumstick that’s grown old and never been used

像一只从未使用过的衰老的鼓槌

我在迟来的下午听见它靠近

In late afternoon I hear it come close

它不时爬出大海

at times it climbs out of a sea

爬上我的肩头

onto my shoulders

我将其耸落

and I shrug it off

又失去一次机会

losing one more chance

每天早晨

Every morning

它都为白日而饮完我的部分气息

it’s drunk up part of my breath for the day

并且知道我要

and knows which way

走哪条路

I’m going

现在它已经在那里没有被干过

and already it’s not done there

但我再次说明天我就把双手

But once more I say I’ll lay hands on it

放在它上面

tomorrow

对我的心灵增加它的脚步

and add its footsteps to my heart

对我的后悔增加它的故事

and its story to my regrets

and its silence to my compass

对我的罗盘增加它的沉默
